PITTSBURGH - Former Central Michigan University star Antonio Brown caught just one pass in the Pittsburgh Steelers' AFC championship game win Sunday over the New York Jets.

But the 14-yard catch on the first play after the two-minute warning gave the Steelers a first down and enabled Pittsburgh to run out the clock for the win.

The sixth-round draft pick was not the intended target in the play. But the Jets fooled Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was resigned to running for the first down before seeing Brown get open.

tribune-democrat.com: “We expected (the Jets) to bring the house,” quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger said. “They dropped everybody, so as soon as I saw them
leave, it was a really, really tight window in order to get it to Hines.
My thought was: ‘Let’s try and run it.’ I started running to the
sideline and next thing you know, ‘AB’ comes flying across the field. He
beat them with speed.
